Generalization of a theorem of Bohr for bases in spaces of holomorphic functions of several complex variables (Q5940325)

Bohr's theorem [\textit{H. Bohr}, Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. (2) 13, 1-5 (1914; JFM 44.0289.01)] states that given an analytic function in the unit disk, \(f(z) = \sum_k c_k z^k\), such that \(|f(z)|< 1\) for any \(z\) in the disk, then \(\sum_k |c_k z^k|<1\) for \(|z|<1\). This was generalized to the polydisk by \textit{H. P. Boas} and \textit{D. Khavinson} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 125, No. 10, 2975-2979 (1997; Zbl 0888.32001)], and to more general domains in \(\mathbb C^n\) by the first-named author [\textit{L. Aizenberg}, Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 128, No. 4, 1147-1155 (2000; Zbl 0948.32001), see also \textit{L. Aizenberg, A. Aytuna} and \textit{P. Djakov}, Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 128, No. 9, 2611-2619 (2000; Zbl 0958.46015)]. In this work, the authors bring to light general features of Bohr-type phenomena. Denote by \(M\) a complex manifold, by \(H\) a space of holomorphic functions on \(M\), and for any \(f \in H\) and \(E \subset \subset M\), \(|f|_E := \sup_E |f|\). Letting \(\{ \varphi_n, n \geq 0\}\) be a basis of \(H\), if \(f = \sum_n f_n \varphi_n\), write \(\|f\|_E := \sum_n |f_n||\varphi_n|_E\). Say that \(H\) has the Bohr Property iff there exist subsets \(U \subset K \subset M\), where \(U\) is open and \(K\) is compact, such that for any \(f \in H\), \(\|f\|_U \leq |f|_K\). Note that for the space \(H(M)\) of all holomorphic functions on \(M\), general theorems of \textit{A. Dynin} and \textit{B. S. Mityagin} [Bull. Acad. Pol. Sci., Sér. Sci. Math. Astron. Phys. 8, 535-540 (1960; Zbl 0104.08504)] show that for any \(K_1 \subset \subset M\), there exist \(K_2 \subset \subset M\) and \(C >0\) such that \(\|f\|_{K_1} \leq |f|_{K_2} \). The main abstract result of the paper is that if \(H(M)\) has a basis \(\{ \varphi_n, n \geq 0\}\) such that \(\varphi_0 =1\) (which is a necessary condition for the Bohr property) and that there exists \(z_0 \in M\) such that \(\varphi_n (z_0) =0\), \( n\geq 1\), then \(H(M)\) has the Bohr property. In another section, the authors consider the case where the space \(H\) is a Hilbert space of analytic functions on a bounded domain \(D \subset \mathbb C^n\), and \(\{ \varphi_n\), \(n \geq 0\}\) is an orthogonal basis. Furthermore, the Hilbert norm is an \(L^2\) norm with respect to a Borel measure \(\mu\), and point evaluations are continuous. Suppose further that \(\mu\) is representing for a point \(z_0 \in D\). Then a Bohr property takes place iff there exist an open set \(U \ni z_0\), a constant \(C>0\), and a compact set \(K\) such that \(\|f\|_U \leq C |f|_K\), for all bounded holomorphic \(f\). An application of this is given to show that certain doubly orthogonal bases enjoy the Bohr property.
